Hey gang!

We're playing a show this Saturday, a low-key thing with our sister band A Weather. Everybody's so busy and we don't get to see them that much so instead of going out to see a movie or scheduling a barbecue we book a Saturday night all ages show at our favorite club. Feel free to come down and join in the love fest. 8:00 $6 8/22 the Artistery. 4315 SE Division

Also! Seattle residents and world traveling festival junkies - We'll be at Bumbershoot on September 7th at the Sky Church 1:45pm

See you around,
PJWA

Hey Guys,
We're rounding out our six week tour and heading back up the coast towards Portland this week. We had lots of adventures and hijinks on the road. The boys over at Burn The Bowery just posted one of our favorites. Check it out.

Hey guys,

We're leaving this week for the longest, busiest, and most springtimey-est tour we've ever embarked upon. If you live in a major, or even mid sized metropolitan city in this here country there's a pretty decent chance that we're going to be a bus ride and a holler away from your house sometime before June 1st. You may have heard of these other two bands we're traveling with: The Thermals and The Shaky Hands. They're two of Portland's best and they both have a tendency to sell out clubs weeks before they even load their extra guitar strings in the tour van, so give your friendly local box office guy a ring, and be nice. He was probably up late making merch for his rock band.

Our other proud news is that the Heart To Elk Vinyl is finally ready. We enlisted Aaron Miller and Cassie Neth, both artists and print makers, to build a one of a kind album package for Heart To Elk and they came through with something unbelievably cool. On limited edition white vinyl, the record comes sandwiched between spray painted, letter pressed, and die-cut layers of heavy chipboard. The hand written lyrics are printed in full and it comes with a free download of the album on mp3. The download card has wildflower seeds embedded in it so after you've zapped it onto your ipod you can plant it in the yard for flowers to grow. Cool huh? Jason Quigley posted an excellent slide show of photos here on our website.

As usual we're depending on the hospitality of total strangers, and fast-won friends to help us find a carpeted place to sleep in these cities. If you have a feeling that you might like a sweet smelling, mild mannered rock band in your living room for a night please send us a note. We never leave dirty dishes behind.

Thanks everybody for your help,

Point Juncture

Hey guys,

We're warming up our tour set these next couple weeks with some fun Portland and Seattle shows. We're airing out some songs we haven't played for a while and shaking the cobwebs out of our serious rock-riffs in preparation for our April and May dates with two of Portland's (and therefore the world's) best rock bands The Thermals and The Shaky Hands.

We'll be at the new Mississippi Studios in Portland this Friday the 3rd with The Worlds Greatest Ghost and the incomparable Alan Singly and Pants Machine. 9pm Show

And we'll be in Seattle next week, Wednesday 4/8, at the Tractor Tavern With Velella Velella and Secret Highways. 9pm show. We get to play with truly great bands. And that makes us happy.

Check out pointjuncturewa.com for them tour dates.

Thanks everybody!

Hey everybody.  Thanks for being on our list! 

Mt. Fuji records is re-releasing Heart To Elk this week which means that starting Tuesday you'll be able to go into your friendly neighborhood record store and listen to it on a listening station or buy it on iTunes or at last use that Sam Goody gift card that's been taped to your refrigerator for two years.  Releasing other people's records in times like these is next to sainthood.  Even with a slaying heavy-metal band like ours it can be a dirty, thankless job and a drain on your beer money.  If you see Michael from Mt. Fuji around town you should give him a hi-five for really loving the new record and putting his considerable talent and resources behind it.  It's a really great thing he does.

We're doing a glut of shows in Portland and Seattle in honor of the release.

February 10 at Music Millennium Portland. 3158 E Burnside.  7pm Free record store appearance
February 13  at The Aladdin Theater Portland.  3017 SE Milwaukie.  8pm $20 With Talkdemonic 
February 19 Live at Noon on KEXP http://www.kexp.
February 20 Sonic Boom records Ballard 6pm Free
February 20 The Sunset Tavern Ballard. 5433 Ballard Avenue.  10pm $8 With Hotels http://www.myspace.com/hotels and The Animals at Night http://www.myspace.com/theanimalsatnight

The vinyl edition of Heart To Elk is almost ready.  All huge and lovely, it will be available March 10th anywhere new Vinyl records are sold and through our website as well.  In April and May we'll be taking it to the road for a very comprehensive tour of these United States.  As you read this we're probably making plans to come to your town so grind a little extra coffee and clear the boxes of that futon that never gets used.  We'll bring the vegan BBQ.

Also!  Amanda will be playing songs from her upcoming solo record under the "ioa" moniker Tuesday night the 10th at Valentines with Ashia and Ritchie Young.  9pm.  232 SW Ankeny.  It's been a while since we've gone downtown.  I hope Ozone Records is still doing okay.

Here's some fun links
